pyrodex/triple 7 on sale at wallyworld

now's the season to pick up next years supply. i usually buy 2 boxes of pyrodex pellets at $20, normally $29 down here, and a jug of FF for $17(normaly $25).

i also stock up on #11 caps too, they are only $1 off tho, but i buy 2 tins.

i go thru about a box and half of pellets a year, and 1/2 jug of loose powder.

the leftovers get "compiled" and used up first.

Oh man, you need to come shoot with some cowboys. I have 17lbs of FFg in my "magazine" and am a little concerned that I won't make it through 2010 with out having to make another buy.

ive found just the opposite.

ive shot some that have been in the speed loader for the whole year, and shot out of my dads 5yr old box.
